SFV, which stands for "Simple File Verification," is a program that checks the files you downloaded and matches them with the files that the creator uploaded. SFV checks the files a person has downloaded to find random corruptions; however, they cannot be used for checking authenticity in any useful way. WinRAR and Quick SFV are both free applications you can download and use to extract files with the .SFV extension.
